[Orca-users] Re: installing orca

[Blair Zajac]

Which Perl are you using?  If you're using Sun's builtin Perl, it's not
the best Perl you can use since it won't use gcc.

I would try downloading the ActiveState pre-built binary for Solaris at

http://www.activestate.com/Products/Download/Get.plex?id=ActivePerl

and use this.  It's the latest Perl and should work fine with gcc on
your system.

Best,
Blair
